good morning, marla and jon. the san francisco giants are already on the way to where jamie is right now on the way to detroit. they left sfo 15 minutes ago on two chartered united airlines. firefighters honored the team with giant plumes of water as they taxied out heading east to detroit. fans were here at at&t park as they boarded the buses for the airport. the giants sending 600 to 700 people to game three. not just tim lincecum and the rest of the players and coaches, but much of the front office and players' spouses and children which doesn't happen during the regular season. the team feels it is important to share with families and also they have the emotional support they need to play considering so much is on the line.

the players were reserved this morning as they were when they headed off to houston in the 2010 world series. coaches and management spoke with us, including brian sabian. he tells us he is not happy the guys have today off considering they have been playing so well the past few days. the key is stay focused and eye on the ball. >> keep your emotions in check and you have to play clean baseball. that's why we won these two games and starting pitchers will step up. we have a chance with vogelsong. we are prepared to have a good home series. >> we are excited. guys got rest last night. we will have a light workout and relax tonight and get set to go the first game there. now we like where we are and we have a lot of work to do. >> they will get home and get a lift. we were ahead 3-2 in anaheim in 2002.

sandoval. she said it was a party at 30,000 feet. reporting live from at&t park, bob redell, nbc bay area news. >> thank you, bob. thinking about the last minute flight, the cheapest tickets you can buy for games three, four and five are on stubhub after $265 for standing room only. a luxury box behind home plate will cost you $15,000. >> you have to pay the baseball piper. the tigers have their work cut out for them. >> our team coverage continues with jamie sayer in detroit. are you warm, jamie? >> reporter: i am. it looks like the workout will be a clear forecast and tomorrow. as you mentioned, a 2-0 series

lead. it has a similar feel to 2010. i'm sure the giants hoping it has similar results. madison bumgardner picked up right where he left off in 2010. he was bounced from the nlcs rotation, but he bounced back nicely extending the scoreless winning streak to 15 innings. >> definitely feels a lot better and less stressful. we can't stop pushing or we'll find ourselves in the same position. >> reporter: meanwhile, a scary moment for tigers pitcher doug fister who took a line drove off his head in the second inning. it was reminiscent when brandon mccarthy suffered a concussion on may 5th. he answered all of the concussion questions and retired 13 of the next 16 batters he faced. as for game three, it will feature vogelsong and sanchez.
